NEW LOC'N & TIME: Weekly Wednesday Night "Let's Ride!"
Details
As usual, we will move the ride location to Moretti's for the last 3 weeks of the season, so we do not have to worry about being in the forest preserve lot after closing. Even as we try to ride early (5pm) to maximize sunlight. Please join us if you can, and if not consider dinner with us afterwards regardless (~6:30ish at Moretti's)!
Meet at Moretti's on Dempster and ride up & back down the North Branch Trail to do the distance (est 10-15 mi) of your choosing. Meet 10-15 minutes before the published time, so we can try to roll on time and not waste the remaining daylight. (If you must come late, feel free to head north and catch us as we ride, it's hard to get lost on this trail!)
We welcome a variety of riders and bike types, who can maintain a 10 MPH riding pace. And we may divide into slower & faster groups, depending on turnout (fall rides do get a little smaller sometimes!).
Remember to check this Meetup the day of the ride, in case of cancellation for weather or other extenuating circumstances (message a ride leader with any questions). Also, we often go to dinner after, so bring a little money if you like.
Some other basic info for you: (a) HELMET IS MANDATORY (b) bring a well-maintained bike (c) no earbuds/earphones (d) bring ID/emergency contact/insurance card (e) carry spare tube/air (f) consider other items such as extra layer/raingear/bug spray/sunglasses/sunscreen/water (we're not your Mom... figure it out!). And lights always recommended.
NOTE: All riders participate and ride at their own risk. Meetup.com, Let's Ride and/or its organizers are not responsible for your safety or well-being.
